No one said he was a pedophile so he's disingenuous to say that he hates pedos but it makes him sound oppressed. What he advocated for was movement of the line on pedophilia to something closer to 13, i.e., puberty.
And whether he can backtrack on that or not, live by the sword die by the sword. If he wasn't such a pompous dick, people might give him a touch of leeway.
But as you can see, guys like Ryan will defend him no matter what. Onward!
